Obama Commits Treason With The Muslim Brotherhood

Excerpt:

We witnessed another one of Barack Obama’s oddities with the Muslim Brotherhood. The first anomaly was when Obama was almost giddy when the Muslim Brotherhood president of Egypt, Mohammed Morsi, ascended to power. The Muslim Brotherhood had openly called for the destruction of the United States “from within”, most recently apparent in Muslim Brotherhood front groups like CAIR calling for the purging of any training materials within the FBI and CIA that “offended” Muslims. Barack Obama of course dutifully complied.

The most recent oddity, however, is Obama calling on Morsi to “broker a truce” between Hamas and Israel. Hamas has fired on average one thousand rockets per year at Israel from the Gaza strip; and for eight days, Israel did something that they should have done a decade ago: fight back.

Keep in mind that the Muslim Brotherhood is the parent organization of Hamas. Keep in mind that, like Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood has called for the annihilation of Israel. So for Obama to call on Morsi to “broker a truce” is ridiculous.

Morsi's Egypt: More power, more persecution

Analysts see expanded authority as precursor to state, mob massacre of Christians

Excerpt:

Christian human-rights analysts warn the expanded powers seized by Egypt’s president means more anti-Christian persecution to come.

In a set of legal maneuvers this week, Muslim Brotherhood-anointed President Mohamed Morsi moved to sidestep the courts and make his office immune to judicial oversight. With no constitution to restrain him, Morsi holds broad executive and legislative authority.

Middle East analyst Theodore Shoebat’s concern is what Morsi’s power grab means for Egypt’s Christians. He references two regimes – one ancient, one modern – to illustrate what happens when leaders opposed to Christianity take control.

“Before Nero inflicted a full persecution on the church, he at first seized full control of the Roman government,” Shoebat said.

“In order for us to comprehend how Christians will be eventually persecuted under a Muslim Brotherhood Egypt, we must look to North Sudan, a country also run by a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, Omar al-Bashir,” he continued.

“Bashir has committed a genocide of millions of Christians all in the name of jihad. And he, like Morsi, also believes that the Quran must be the constitution of his country,” Shoebat said.

Shoebat said he sees no reason to believe Morsi will not follow the model of both Nero and al-Bashir.

“The same will happen in Egypt. Once Morsi makes sure that he is officially a dictator, then a full out persecution of the Copts will occur,” Shoebat said.

Shoebat said a small hint of Morsi’s intentions was revealed in the president’s response to the investiture of the new Coptic pope.

“Lets not forget, Morsi refused to attend the ceremony for the Coptic Pope Tawadros II – this is quite the indication of his hatred for the Christian population,” Shoebat said.

International Christian Concern’s Middle East analyst Aidan Clay noted the Coptic pope made good on his threat to pull out of the Constituent Assembly.

“Islamists have made it blatantly clear that they will draft their version of the constitution without buy-in from secularists or Christians. At least 12 liberals withdrew from the Constituent Assembly – the 100 member body tasked with drafting Egypt’s new constitution – on Sunday, following the departure of five Christian representatives days earlier, because they were not given fair representation,” Clay said.

WND reported earlier that newly installed Pope Tawadros II had threatened to pull the Christian delegates from the Constituent Assembly if the body didn’t stand firm on the decision to leave Article Two intact, the article that only permits Shariah to be a legal guide in Egypt.

Tawadros is warning he will pull the Christian delegates from the Egyptian Constituent Assembly if a religious freedom article in the nation’s draft constitution is compromised.

Tawadros, who recently was chosen as the deceased Pope Shenouda III’s successor, says Christians will stand firm on Article Two.

In a report issued Friday, Shoebat, calling former U.N. Atomic Energy Agency head Mohamed ElBaradei the father of the revolution and a background player in the Muslim Brotherhood’s ascendancy to power in Egypt, said there is nothing to prevent the full implementation of Shariah in Egypt.

“Dr. Mohamed Yousry Salameh, the Executive Member of the Al-Dostur, founded by Mohamed ElBaradei, the father of the Egyptian Revolution, stated that the party needed to push the Muslim Brotherhood to begin an implementation of Sharia in Egypt,” Shoebat said.

“So who is now stopping us from enforcing Shariah, including all its edicts as you all want? Answer: it’s the president, and his party the Muslim Brotherhood. It is he, after all who is in power,” Shoebat said, quoting Salameh.

“So what do they have to stop this Shariah? Answer: nothing. There are some who say that the society is not ready for this Shariah, but this is a statement if I said it, or so and so said it, they will peel his skin alive, while if others [the Muslim Brotherhood] say it, it is alright,” Shoebat said, again quoting Salameh.

“The statement implies that the only thing keeping Egypt from being a Shariah state was the Muslim Brotherhood itself. Now that Morsi has taken the position of dictator, it is now quite clear that the full enforcement of Shariah is on its way soon,” Shoebat said.

Shoebat also said there will no longer be any barriers to an all-out persecution, including killings, of the Christians.

“The Christians will be massacred by orders from the state itself, and will be happily done not only by government officers and soldiers, but by the Egyptian people themselves. Egypt will not be ruled under full dictatorship, but also by mob rule,” Shoebat said.

Clay added that on the legal front, Egypt’s institutions are moving steadily into the firm grip of the Muslim Brotherhood and its jihadist allies.

“In a proposed draft of Egypt’s new constitution, which was released in early October, are provisions relating to Egypt’s Supreme Constitutional Court (SCC), which are almost identical to the outgoing constitution,” Clay said.

“In the draft, President Mohammad Morsi – like ousted President Hosni Mubarak before him – has the power to appoint the head of court and its 15 members after receiving nominations from lower courts,” Clay said.

“According to Tahani el-Gibaly, a member of the SCC, the provisions are disastrous because they place the SCC under the grip of executive and legislative powers, rather than as an independent body,” Clay said.

This leaves the Assembly firmly in the hands of the jihadists.

“Nearly all the representatives who remain in the assembly are Islamists from the Brotherhood and the more radical Salafis, removing any doubt that the constitution will be centered on Islamic Shariah,” Clay said.

Big mistake: Israel-Hamas cease-fire

Exclusive: Larry Klayman warns truce leaves 'traces of cancer to grow back'

WND
Larry Klayman
11/23/2012

Excerpt:

The so-called U.S.-Egyptian brokered cease-fire claiming to end the last week’s conflict in Gaza is a sham. It shows that it is not only President Barack Hussein Obama and his Secretary of State Hillary Clinton who are expedient and delusional at best, but regrettably also leaders in the Israeli government who caved in to American, leftist domestic and international pressure to end the siege. The increased prestige the cease-fire brings to one of the worst terrorist groups in the world, Hamas, which now claims that it has successfully stood up to Israeli Zionist oppression – and crowing by the Obama administration that this is the first recent step to a broad peace agreement over a two-state solution for the so-called Palestinian problem – would strongly suggest that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has really walked into “something” that leaves a very bad odor now and into the future.

When polled in the last few days about the cease-fire, the overwhelming majority of Israeli citizens rejected it as a means to end the rocket attacks and violence of Hamas and its Muslim brothers like the even more radical Islamist Jihad, financed and supplied by the neo-Nazi Islamic regime in Iran. That’s because, based on experience, Israelis understand all too well that the cessation in hostilities and rocket firings are only a temporary respite. And any missile facilities of the terrorists that were destroyed will be quickly rebuilt with even more sophisticated weaponry and with the assistance of Iran and other Arab interests. So too will rockets be resupplied by the mullahs in Tehran, whose goal, consistent with Islam and its “godly” teachings, is to wipe Israel off the face of the map and kill as many Jews and Christians as “humanly” possible in the name of Allah and his edicts – in order to eventually have Muslims rule the world.

On Thanksgiving Day, New York Times reporters David Sanger (the same leftist reporter who released months earlier highly classified information at Obama’s beckoning about Israeli war plans with Iran so the administration coerce Israel not to attack Iran before the presidential election) and Adam Shanker, correctly observed:

“The conflict that ended, for now, in a cease-fire between Hamas and Israel seemed like the latest episode in a periodic showdown. But there was a second strategic agenda unfolding, according to American and Israeli officials: The conflict was something of a practice run for any future confrontation with Iran, featuring improved rockets that can reach Jerusalem, and new anti-missile defense systems that can counter them.

“It is Iran, of course, that most preoccupies Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Barack Obama. While disagreeing on tactics, both have made clear that time is short, probably measured in months, to resolve the standoff over Iran’s nuclear program.

“And, one key to their war-gaming has been cutting off Iran’s ability to slip next generation missiles into the Gaza Strip or Lebanon, where they could be launched by Iran’s surrogates, Hamas, Hezbollah and Islamic Jihad, during any crisis over sanctions or an Israeli strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities.

“Michael B. Oren, the Israeli ambassador to the United States and a military historian, likened the insertion of Iranian missiles into Gaza to the Cuban missile crisis.

“‘In the Cuban missile crisis, the U.S. was not confronting Cuba, but rather the Soviet Union,’ Mr. Oren said Wednesday, as the cease-fire was declared. ‘In Operation Pillar of Defense,’ the name the Israel Defense Force gave the Gaza operation, ‘Israel was not confronting Gaza, but Iran.”

Why then did Prime Minister Netanyahu and the rest of the Israeli government accede to predictable pressure by the “Muslim in chief” and the so-called international community for Israel not to thoroughly clean out and destroy the Hamas-driven rats nest in Gaza, as a prelude to the upcoming confrontation with Iran over its nuclear program? The answer is regrettably both simple and uncomforting. Netanyahu and his Likud Party face new elections in late January 2013, and he and his allies feared the political impact of high Israeli casualties if they finished, with a full troop invasion, the job they started a week-and-a-half ago to more fully eliminate Hamas as a threat. But the irony is that, based upon my observations and discussions with Israelis in the last week – including those already in the line of fire in Tel Aviv, the West Bank and elsewhere – the Jewish nation was prepared for this. Casualties and sacrifice are a staple in the history of the Jewish people, and better to bite the proverbial terrorist bullet now than have Iran resupply Hamas, Islamic Jihad and others in the months leading up to the eventual Israeli strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities.

In short, Prime Minister Netanyahu, succumbing to pressure not just by Obama and the international community but also Israel’s dovish Labor Party on the left, headed by President of Israel Shimon Peres, caved to political expediency. By so doing, the image and reputation of Israel as a tough and unyielding adversary to Arab terrorism and coercion was severely compromised. By throwing in the towel to an immediate land invasion of Gaza, Netanyahu and the Israeli government undercut the deterrent psychology and effect of the Jewish state’s strategic interests. Hamas and Iran, are now – having declared victory over the cease-fire (Hamas’ status on the world stage also having been elevated by the bargain) – are emboldened to act even more aggressively in the future. And, it is only a matter of a short time that they recommence rocket firings into Israeli population centers with new and improved technology that will also be undoubtedly used in any war over Iran’s nuclear facilities.
